The Fiesta Drive-In originally opened in 1948, with a single screen. The massive original screen tower had a mural of a Mexican man and woman dancing, and was animated with neon lighting. Above them was the theater’s name in Streamline style lettering.
The Fiesta Drive-In closed in 1970, but was completely rebuilt in 1989 as a three screen drive-in with parking for over 600 cars, FM stereo sound, and a modern concession stand. The Fiesta Drive-In was open Friday through Monday year-round, but had closed by 2010. It was re-opened in the summer of 2012.

The theater website does not work any more.
Even though the phone number is no longer in service, the Cavern City Cinemas, Inc. (Fiesta Drive-In) is still listed with the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce as an acibe member. Looks like another ozoner is gone.
